    I have a RadToolTip with special content defined for a target control. It turns out I'm going to have to use the same the RadToolTip for several target controls. I know I would have to use the RadToolTipManager for this, but how do I put my content in there like I did with the RadToolTip? Here's what my current ToolTip looks like:

    <telerik:RadToolTip ID="RadToolTip1" runat="server"  
        TargetControlID="pageActionsLink" 
        Position="BottomLeft" 
        OffsetX="-20" 
        OffsetY="-2" 
        ManualClose="false" 
        Sticky="true"   
        RelativeTo="Element" 
        Animation="Resize" 
        Skin="WebBlue">    
            <asp:LinkButton ID="pageEditLink" runat="server"  
                Text="Edit" 
                CommandName="Edit" 
                CommandArgument="mainpage" 
                OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
                CssClass="pageToolsEdit"  
                CausesValidation="false" /> 
            <br /> 
            <asp:LinkButton ID="pageCreateLink" runat="server"  
                Text="Create" 
                CommandName="Create" 
                CommandArgument="mainpage" 
                OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
                CssClass="pageToolsCreate"  
                CausesValidation="false" /> 
            <br /> 
            <asp:LinkButton ID="pageCopyLink" runat="server" 
                Text="Copy" 
                CommandName="Copy" 
                CommandArgument="mainpage" 
                OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
                CssClass="pageToolsCopy"  
                CausesValidation="false" /> 
            <br /> 
            <asp:LinkButton ID="pageRenameLink" runat="server"  
                Text="Rename"  
                CommandName="Rename" 
                CommandArgument="mainpage" 
                OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
                CssClass="pageToolsRename" 
                CausesValidation="false" /> 
    </telerik:RadToolTip> 

    I tried doing this but it gave a compile error saying it doesn't recognize my content:
    <telerik:RadToolTipManager ID="RadToolTipManager1" runat="server" 
        Position="BottomLeft" 
        OffsetX="-20" 
        OffsetY="-2" 
        ManualClose="false" 
        Sticky="true"   
        RelativeTo="Element" 
        Animation="Resize" 
        Skin="WebBlue"> 
        <TargetControls> 
            <telerik:ToolTipTargetControl TargetControlID="control1" /> 
            <telerik:ToolTipTargetControl TargetControlID="control2" /> 
            <telerik:ToolTipTargetControl TargetControlID="control3" />         
        </TargetControls> 
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server"  
            Text="Edit" 
            CommandName="Edit" 
            CommandArgument="mainpage" 
            OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
            CssClass="pageToolsEdit"  
            CausesValidation="false" /> 
        <br /> 
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server"  
            Text="Create" 
            CommandName="Create" 
            CommandArgument="mainpage" 
            OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
            CssClass="pageToolsCreate"  
            CausesValidation="false" /> 
        <br /> 
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" runat="server" 
            Text="Copy" 
            CommandName="Copy" 
            CommandArgument="mainpage" 
            OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
            CssClass="pageToolsCopy"  
            CausesValidation="false" /> 
        <br /> 
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton4" runat="server"  
            Text="Rename"  
            CommandName="Rename" 
            CommandArgument="mainpage" 
            OnCommand="PageTools_Click" 
            CssClass="pageToolsRename" 
            CausesValidation="false" /> 
    </telerik:RadToolTipManager> 

    Can I add content to the RadToolTipManager like the RadToolTip?

    Hi bemara57,
    You cannot put the content you wish to show in the RadToolTips the manager creates between the opening and closing tags of the RadToolTipManager as usually, different target elements, have different titles. You can create a UserControl with that content, and use the AjaxUpdate event of the manager to load the control inside the tooltip that is about to open. However, in this case, I believe it would be easier, to use a single RadToolTip for all target elements, and set its TargetControlId dynamically.

    For example:
    <body>  
        <form id="form1" runat="server">  
            <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />  
              
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Target 1" onmouseover="ShowToolTip(this);"></asp:Label>  
            <asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text="Target 2" onmouseover="ShowToolTip(this);"></asp:Label>  
            <asp:Label ID="Label3" runat="server" Text="Target 3" onmouseover="ShowToolTip(this);"></asp:Label>  
            <asp:Label ID="Label4" runat="server" Text="Target 4" onmouseover="ShowToolTip(this);"></asp:Label>  
            <asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text="Target 5" onmouseover="ShowToolTip(this);"></asp:Label>          
              
            <telerik:RadToolTip ID="RadToolTip1" runat="server" RelativeTo="Element" IsClientID="true">  
                Content  
            </telerik:RadToolTip>  
        </form>   
        <script type="text/javascript">  
        function ShowToolTip(element)  
        {  
            var tooltip = $find('<%= RadToolTip1.ClientID %>');  
              
            setTimeout(function(){  
                tooltip.set_targetControlID(element.id);  
                tooltip.show();  
            }, 100);  
        }  
        </script>     
    </body>
